 |
|
I just got an error at the alsa-driver package, which basically said
| Code: | Determining the location of the kernel source code
* Found kernel source directory:
* /usr/src/linux
* Found sources for kernel version:
* 2.6.11-gentoo-r9
* getfilevar requires 2 variables, with the second a valid file.
* getfilevar <VARIABLE> <CONFIGFILE>
* Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
* Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux sources.
* If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that
* it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config.
|
So as I found in another thread, I went to my /usr/src/linux directory and ran "make menuconfig" then saved it, then tried resuming the emerge.
Now I get this error:
| Code: | Found sources for kernel version:
2.6.11-gentoo-r11
Checking for suitable kernel configuration options
ALSA is already complied into the kernel.
Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
Once you have satisified these options, please try merging this package again. |
Also a general question....why does it already download the kernel source, which I'm going to emerge it in the next step (of the install guide)?
Thanks

Update: Well it seems to be working now. I did make menuconfig again, then in the sound portion of the kernel config I took the star away from ALSA. After that it told me to run "make oldconfig" and "make modules_prepare" which I did, now it works.
My question still stands though.....why is the system even looking at the kernel before it's been configured properly? |

Same problem, but I cant solve it like you did. I tried:
| Code: | make menuconfig (then save and exit with no modifications)
make oldconfig
make modules_prepare
emerge --resume |
I resume because Im emerging --emptytree system. The error I get is:
| Code: | livecd linux # emerge --resume
*** Resuming merge...

Hmm. I realized that I dont need alsa-driver... Im using a 2.6 kernel alsa drivers built in. So I removed alsa from my USE flags and did a --skipfirst.

Seems like emerging the kernel cleans out the .config file. If you have .config support built into your kernel:
| Code: |
zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config
make && make modules_install
emerge --resume

I ran into the same problem with ALSA. Thanks for paving the way link1305.
Will the command emerge --emptytree system pick up where it left off after I rebuild the kernel?
update: To answer my own question, the thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2646385.html#2646385 points out that a resume option is needed. |
